The Authority Reframe
An established authority figure identifies common mistakes (the 'bad') and replaces them with superior alternatives (the 'good'), justifying each replacement with a psychological explanation of its impact on perception.

The Re-Framing Loop
This is a repeating beat that applies a consistent formula to each item on the list. It identifies a 'negative' element, provides a 'positive' replacement, and explains the psychological reasoning behind the switch to demonstrate superior value.

I'm the Wolf of Wall Street, and I never want you to say these three words in sales. Never say the word expensive. Instead, say premium. Why? Expensive implies something is overpriced. Regret that you bought it for the wrong reason. Right? Paid too much. Meanwhile, you say the word premium, and it says you got the best and you got value. Number two, never say the word cheap. Instead, you say affordable. Why? Cheap implies low quality, regret. I made the wrong decision. I didn't give myself what I deserve. While affordable means I made a great deal. I got huge value at the best price. Number three, never say the word try. Instead, say the word explore. What does try mean? Try means you're gonna fail. Yeah. I'll give you a shot. Try, not gonna succeed. Instead, you say explore, and you get to see just how awesome what I have is. You wanna learn to sell it to Wolf of Wall Street? Follow me.
